My Hot Wheels slot car racing sets were NEVER as cool as the new set brought to us by our favorite boys from Brazil.

Words cannot do justice to the utter tedium of a day in the life of a McDonald's employee. Which is surpassed only by the utter tedium of this strange and meaningless flash tidbit.

Finally, someone's gotten around to paying us women to watch porn. US psychologists have measured female arousal at pornography, and reached a startling conclusion: women everywhere, regardless of sexual orientation, are turned on by everything. Except this woman--there's one thing I definitely don't want...

It's sad when priests are getting more action than you. Priest-seducing is a popular pastime in Malawi, a government-endorsed form of blackmail in China, and in recorded history 4 Popes have died during sex. Who needs "Sex and the City" when you could have "Sex and the Clergy"?

On false teeth: a down-n-out singer in India sold 4,500 sets of false teeth made from bamboo. He made the original set to replace his natural teeth, which were quite an unsightly mess. We love to poke fun at dentures, but some prominent figures wore false teeth. Like George Washington, a Dalai Lama, and the Face on Mars. Just watch out for the uranium.

Do you like low pitched instruments? Is the upper end of the bass clef just a bit too high for your taste? Are you fascinated by musical instruments that register on seismographs? Maybe you need help.

Long before the critically acclaimed series "Oz", "The Sopranos", and "Sex & the City", "Not Necessarily the News" (based on the Britcom series "Not the Nine O'Clock News" which launched Rowan 'Mr. Bean' Atkinson's career) was the only reason to have HBO in the early 1980s besides "Fraggle Rock."

The same people who brought you the Rent-a-Stalker would also like you to consider their other services. Corporate product naming by a Japanese Drunk, your one-stop Cloning shop, and, of course, your average place where you can go to have sex with complete strangers. They would also like you to know that not all of them are hoaxes.

A full decade before Disney made Snow White, Lotte Reininger made the full-length animated film The Adventures of Prince Achmed. This movie wasn't cel animated, but rather done with silhouette animation. Similar to Balinese shadow puppets, silhouette animation was most popular in the early part of this century, but has sadly fallen out of favor as cel (and computer) animation have become cheaper to produce.

After watching Allen and Albert Hughes' documentary film 'American Pimp', I decided that I needed a career change. Ironically, none of the headhunters who call seem to have any opportunities to be a pimp, even overseas. From coast to coast, successful macks and those who study them say it's all about the image. What you need to do is get the clothes, the jewelry, the hat, the ride, and (most importantly) the attitude -- then it's only a matter of time until you have thoroughbreds fawning over you.

Pringles sites -- Once you click, you can't stop thinking about this not-a-potato-chip. What I don't get is, how come other countries get more flavors of Pringles than we do?

In 1982, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was released, eventually becoming the highest-grossing film in history. Atari's E.T. video game was quickly (and expensively) thrown together, and become legendary, for different reasons. Twenty years later, E.T. is being re-released, and one company dares to release five E.T. video games. Good luck, kids!

When you can't trust serendipity to occur through mere serendipity, there's only one option: pay thousands of dollars to have professionals design your coincidence for you.

When Microsoft chairman Bill Gates was shot dead on December 2, 1999, it was a tragedy that resonated throughout the world. But as time wears on, that tragedy has developed into a mystery for many observers, who see police misconduct and a cover-up where others see an open-and-shut case. This week at the esteemed Slamdance Film Festival, Nothing So Strange follows the efforts of an organized group of these skeptics.

Who the hell is Glenn Shadix, you say? You just don't know that you know who Glenn Shadix is. You probably know him best as Otho Baloofer, Father Ripper, or the Mayor of Halloweentown, but do you know he was part of bringing Pete and Ray to the silver screen?
